✦ Synopsis

Abstracts composite laminates were performed as a part of manufacturing methods development programs and, hence, are buried in reports not dealing specifically with the effect of void content. In the present work, information on the effect of void content taken from the hardware and manufacturing methods reports as well as the specific programs addressing the void content question will be discussed in detail. The paper will spe&kally address the following questions: (a) What are the causes of hi& void content in laminates? (b) What quality assurance procedures are available to guarantee laminates with low void content? (c) What nondestructive inspection methods are available to check the void content of laminates? and (d) What is the effect of voids on both the static and long time properties of laminates?
